This is the final version of my bass cheat sheet!! It has a lot of new stuff.

Here is a blank tab sheet I also made. You can print out copies, and use them to tab your own music.

Thanks guys!

nice job

Pretty cool, I'll make some use of it sooner or later :D

Very nice job! I'll use that when I teach some lessons if you don't mind.

Cool, thanks

Thanks... :cool:

Hi James...

Great stuff. Thanks!

Joe.

One of the best I've EVER seen man. Thumbs up to you! *bows*

That really is the Mutts, It is so cool I am Really genuinely surprised noone has done it before!!!!

:bassist: :hyper:

Thanks guys, I'm new here so I look forward to talking to everyone! :)

I like this.

Out of curiosty, could someone make a sheet like this with different scale patterns? I've been trying to find such a thing.

Wow! Thanks! Very nice job.

Kind of reminds me of the Bass Grimiore (every scale, mode and fingering pattern noone will ever need to know) except useful :)

nice job! Very useful!

I vote for stickying!

**print** :bassist:

Nice.

I've just had it pointed out to me that your circle of 5ths is treble clef and the rest is bass clef...Oh the joys of jammin' with a classically trained singer :rolleyes: However still very cool man! :D

Cheers, K

Exceptional. Thanks for sharing it.

Now if I can just find a way to make it readable on the little screen in my Pocket PC.... :)

Good stuff - any plans to put in the 5-fret scale paterns? I think that would make it a lot more complete. That way it covers pretty much all notes of any diatonic, melodic minor, or harmonic minor scale with any finger on the root without having to skip notes, such as the major 7th in major scale pattern 2.

Thanks!

Now big decision time, laminate or not?

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

The is only one circle of 5ths. There isn't a separate one for bass clef. Even the key signatures are the same. I'm not sure what he was talking about. :confused:

Thanks again everyone for all the feedback!

I think my vocalist was pointing out the fact that you had a treble clef stave in there rather than a bass one (I'm assuming that the sharps/flats would be the same note just on a different line in Bass Clef) but even they admitted it was cool

I bet that was it, I couldn't find the key signatures with the bass clef. And I was to lazy to make them my self. :cool:

Personally, I wouldn't call the vii chord diminished, I'd call it half-diminished or minor 7 b5. With triads it doesn't matter, but diminished infers different tension tones than half-diminished.

Oh so very useful. Awesome stuff!

Sweet! Thanks for posting that, it will help... a lot. :D

Love it! Very, very awesome!

Nice concise source of info right there!

JB

Awesome.

There's always a time when I forget something, and this will help a lot!


And I ALWAYS need tab paper.


Thanks man

Very helpful,this will make bass playing more fun and also help me with my music theory.

nice!

I'm just starting out and this will be really useful, good work!

:)

I vote this too :smug:

If I showed you what they should look like on bass clef, or found something you could copy and paste, would you update it? I think it would be more helpful, within the context of your "cheat sheet," to show the key sigs in bass clef, or maybe both bass and treble clef if that's more what you want...
I'm just picky about this sort of thing I guess...

Great job! I'm sure some people are getting better just looking at it....nice circle of fifths too! Explaining that to some people just drives me crazy......

Scott

Very Nice!!! It's for a 4 string, but I have no problems in transposing to my 5.

Hey....a 5 string version would just rock! Care to make one?

SB

Thats some good, work, it has all the important parts of music needed for beginner or intermediate bass players.

SB

Is that for me or jamesr??

Is that for me or jamesr??I'd say whoever wants to put the time into making it... I too wouldn't mind seeing a 5-string version.

Nice work, jamesr!

Thats some good stuff, thanks!

That's for you, I guess! I have passed this along to about 8 other bass players and other musicians that found it quite informative. A 5 string version would be nice to have, especially for the scales.....

Very cool.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

I posted this on a site I run and got some responses, and some private responses telling me that it helped. Thanks so much for the great work here.

Thanks for posting this--It's just what I needed!

Scott

Apologies to those hereby subscribed, but I've just re-found this and it is still cool!

Bounce - Bump - Boom!

thank you for puttin that together. killer stuff.

I'm not too worried about the clef on the circle of 5ths but you should (largely) be using flats rather than sharps for the left hand side.

for example to the left of F should be Bb, not A#, it's only an a# if you go ALL the way around clockwise to get to it. (and then the F is an E#)

Ian

i don't guess the original poster is still on TB (last post in march of 2005) but bless his heart for making this thing, and a giant thank you to Kraken for bumping it...well done

being theory-tarded i am not entirely sure of everything i am looking at, but it is sure giving me new things to think about

wow, thanks man, thats a real nice thing to do.
:D

very well done. =D

First time I am seeing this here, but - it was a very nice job.

Very good job! keep on the great work, it is definitely very useful! THANKS

nice! i'm gonna print that thing out!

Great job man, thanks.

gonna print that as soon as i get home.

nice work.

Stick! Stcik! Stick!

this is awesome, thanks for sharing.

I have the Bass Grimoire, but this explains a lot in a little space, thanks!:)

This is awesome...now if I can just figure out how to read it all...:D

Sweet, I'm finding this so useful! Great job and thanks!

Thanks a bunch! I'm sure it will be very useful. :)

Very nice job.

For the Love of Low-End, Why Isn't This a STICKY Yet?!?!

Thank you very much for posting this! :bassist:

anyone want to make a 6 string version? for both the tab file and the bass cheat i mean :help:
Besides that, great job! Thank you!
:bassist:

I would like to ask a question on the Major scale on this if I may. I am new to bass so if I am misinformend let me know. I saw this yesterday thread and played it this major scale this morning. I am OK on the major scale with patterns 1, 2, & 4. But with 3 and 5 there is a note/s missing.
#3 goes A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A-C-D. Missing B
#5 goes D-E-F-G-A-C-D-F Missing both B&E Do you add these in?? I am not sure of myself with scales and this just did not sound right. The pattern I learned for guitar was 3 notes per string starting on the root.
Thanks as I am confused :confused:

Kudos for making your cheat sheet - I will definitely print it out and
keep one in my bass case and put up one on my wall.

Here is the fretboard that I created awhile back. This is a big image that is best printed on 8 1/2 x 14 inch legal paper. This is great for hanging on the wall in a practice area because it's easily visible from a fair distance.

thanks for letting me cheat off you! good job hehe. I got my cheat sheet now :ninja:

yet another thank you. cheers.

nice.

wicked! thank you

Wow..very well done ..thanks

I just downloaded it.
I will print it right now!

Thank you

Excellent, very concise.

:hyper: Excellent, very concise.

The minor patterns are pretty handy - thx!

Wow that's kewl dude! I don't understand the half of it but it look pretty handy! :)

Thank you for donating this to the community. You have made it a better place.

Link doesn't work anymore.
Anyone kept a copy of it ?
Thanks.

Yeah, I would really like to print it and hang it on the wall.

Got it.
It's now available here (http://dapl.free.fr/BCS.pdf).

Let me look I have to get a better connection to post it somewhere.

Edit: Never mind you posted it as I was typing.

What about the tab sheet? That'd come in handy.

Got it.
It's now available here (http://dapl.free.fr/BCS.pdf).

any shot at a 5 sting version?

No but if you assemble it I'm sure it will make many people happy. :)

I'm really glad someone bumped this, I had never seen it before today.

I was afraid it might be over my head because I have limited knowledge of how to tabulate and interpret written music but I do understand this.

Great resource!

For some reason I couldn't get the links to open.

Just worked for me...took a little while cause it opened acrobat in my browser. Do you have acrobat?

No but if you assemble it I'm sure it will make many people happy. :)

If i had the skills to assemble it, I gladly would. Unfortunately, they are definitely lacking in this area... :hmm:
